be an irreparable loss to literature not to COM

moment and then exclaimed:

fact that the man who had to pay when the
market went against him would have 10 security
or satisfaction of any part except that he might
demand q margin deposit in return, but margins
then as now, would be very uncertain. There
was lots of grumbling to-day about the failure
to put up margins. Several brokers said they
had made repeated calls during the last few
days. and had been repeatedly answered that
the money had been put up; also, had just been
sent to the bank with check, or the check
would be sent inside of ten minutes, or
some such similar answer would be returned,
and yet the money was not up. These men
urged that at least one party to each trade would
be no better off under the new system than the
old.

firm of j. j. Bryant & Co., was interviewed

The Cost of supplying Gas and Its Profit.
To the Editor of the indianapolis JournaE
do not know whether you will think me too
sanguine. but would like to make statement
and present You some figures IN the matter of
furnishing natural gas to this city, as it
is fully demonstrated that there
is within twenty miles, at Greenfield to
the east and Noblesville north. an
abundant supply of finer quality for heating pur
poses than can be found in any other part of the
country. In the immediate vicinity several wells
have been sunk, but without paying results,
quantities has been found, indicating
by It's presence that though the
city may not be Immediately over the deposits,
those deposits are vast that by pressure and
seep it permeates the earth for miles upon miles
around its basin proper. indianapolis is deter
mined to have natural gas, even though the main
conveying lines be laid sixty, instead of twenty
miles, and the Common Council has before it
ordinance looking to this end. based upon q pro-
posed reduction of 80 per cent. from the present
cost of fuel for both domestic and manufacturing
purposes. This ordinance will give somebody
bonanza, and there is far but aspirant in
the field. The Standard Oil Company is negoti-
atng for the franchises but the matter is still
open, and as there is growing hope
that home company may gain them,

too small, the cost of main carrying pipe too
low that of distributing pipes too high, and
